-some members of regional directors of the environment, water and economy;

The discussions were about approaches to strengthen local resilience and increase income from green economy, in Burkina Faso’s current context of humanitarian crisis. The participatory and inclusive approach of GGGI contributed to update the real priorities of the North Central region, to know better the local actors, structures of the region and their respective fields of competences.

Unity is strength. It is through collaboration, agreement and consideration of regional priorities that we will be able to carry out projects that meet the needs of the population.
